The Ship & Mitre has bare board floor throughout and lots of wood furnishings, including the central bar towards the rear. Split level seating runs around all the exterior walls and to the left rear are a couple of dartboards. I noted six hand pumps on the front of the bar and another three along the rear. During a recent quiet Monday evening visit these were drawing Facer’s Brewery’s Scrum Ptious, Landslide and Abbey Original, Botelai Brewery’s Strand Out, Ship & Mitre Traditional Bitter (?), Neighbourhood Brew Co’s Conundrum, Thornbridge’s Ashford, Colbier Brew Co’s Baritone and Magpie Brewery’s Ten for Bliss. There were also real ciders available alongside premium German and Belgian keg. I went for a pint of Strand Out which was a decent stout served by a polite barman. This place is certainly worth a look for the beer range.

I was a bit daunted by the beer offering here, the seventh pub of an undefined circuit. The six beers on the main bar were (in order) 3.9%, 4.6%, 4.8%, 4.0%, 5.0% and 5.2%. I went for the Black Rose porter (from White Rose brewery, of course) and the Brentwood Lumberjack on the far right. (There was also a very well maintained beer list on a pinboard, and a 3.4% beer was being pulled through during my visit.) The Rose was very good (NBSS 4) but the Lumberjack was feeling his age and had a bit of a back ache (NBSS 2). Never mind, a lovely friendly and impressive pub and defo one to return to. And wander round and have a look. Lovely pub.

Set in a building with a sturdy looking exterior, once inside the feel is almost one of drinking in a rambling American log cabin bar. Six handpumps and six beers which were Bragdy Conwry West Coast Pale, Black Lodge Out By The Lake, Chapter Blindfold Off and three from Roosters, Howl, London Thunder and a very good as well as interesting Creeper, a decent keg lineup and a good selection of bottles made for an excellent pub, one of the best on my Liverpool visit.
